Lucius, born into a royal lineage, was raised in a palatial estate where the air was thick with the expectations of his lineage. His father, a stern and unyielding king, saw Lucius as an extension of his own ambitions, molding him into a formidable swordsman from the tender age of five. His mother, a queen with a heart of ice, enforced strict standards of stoicism, teaching Lucius that tears were beneath the stature of a prince.
